End of Impunity for World Leaders


The Economist has a nice article about the end of impunity for world leaders accused of committing crimes against humanity. There has been a lot of progress in trying and convicting these types of offenders in the last few years and it looks like there will be more accountability in the future. Hopefully the International Criminal Court will be successful in trying and punishing Thomas Lubanga for his use of child soldiers in the Congo. If they are able to handle their first case smoothly it could open the door for many more prosecutions.
